Happy Birthday John!
He was bored. So, he went upstairs. Today was John's birthday. His parents had a box hidden in the closet. And there as a piece of paper on which was written Rp. 20,000. He was curious, but he couldn't open the box because it was his parents'. So, he went back downstairs and watched TV until he fell asleep.
His parents came home. He heard their footsteps going up the stairs. He was nervous as he slowly went upstairs too.
"Happy birthday John ! cried his parents, handing him the same box that he saw earlier. He was very happy and he opened it quickly, and there, inside, was a robot. Just what he wanted!
"I love robots!" he laughed. And from then on, he appreciated his parents much more than anyone else, because parents, as you should know, are special.

I have to say Hyo Joo, that I think you have created something quite special here - the style, the simplicity, the short sentences giving a feeling of anticipation and uncertainty, Great!
You should be very pleased with this.
